Iron Knot

Closure mechanism (detail) of a transparent glass jar with a blue lid. I put a red plastic bag behind it in order to enhance the glass reflections and used a softbox for backlighting.

 

We use this jar to store salt for daily use. While the glass and its rubber joint are in perfect condition, voilà the signs of half a dozen years and the effects of salt attracting humidity on the wire of the flip top closure.

 

"Macro Mondays" contribution "Rust". Size of the objects in focus: 2,9cm.
